Regions of the CNS Where Neuron Cell Bodies Dominate Constitute

Question

Regions of the CNS where neuron cell bodies dominate constitute the ________ matter.
A) white
B) gray
C) neural
D) brain
E) ganglion

Accepted Answer

Gray matter is composed of regions of the CNS where neuron cell bodies dominate, while white matter is composed of myelinated axons. Neural and ganglion are not correct choices as they are not specific to gray or white matter. Brain is too broad of a term and does not specifically refer to gray matter.
